The Community Involvement Program (CIP) is a comprehensive, need-based scholarship and retention program for first-generation college students from the Stockton. Students who have demonstrated the potential for sustainable leadership, community awareness and involvement are eligible.
CIP was established in 1969 by a group of students, community members, faculty and staff who wanted to provide educational opportunities to the local community and diversify the University of the Pacific campus. More than 2,000 students have graduated from the program since its inception.
